Anybody else finishing soon?

[Cordelia]

I'm getting to the end of my final project for my Masters degree, due on September 1. I'll graduate in November. I'm not sure yet whether I'll ever attempt a PhD (right now I'm leaning more towards trying to write for publication, and working indefinitely to pay the bills) so this could be the end of higher education for me!

I see a lot of people on the forums are starting college soon, but is anybody else finishing? Or anybody going into their final year? What are your plans for the next step?

I can't really say whether or not I'll finish soon because I might spend some extra time in undergrad. I'm a junior now, and after this I plan to go get a Master of Science in cell and molecular biology while getting a MD. After I get that doctorate and master's I'll probably stop...

I'm going into third year so I'm only half way through. After my BA, I plan to get an LL.B. (if I can get in!). If not, I might get some more credits in my minor (political science) and take a MA in that.

I have 1.5 years left for my BS degree since I am doing a dual degree in Chemical and Environmental Engineering.

The industry I am entering is very high paying for having just a BS degree and will pay for graduate school for you so there is no point in going strait to grad school. Good MBA programs typically require 4 years work experience anyway.

Wait hold the train, some people at some point in their lives stop going to college!? Madness I say

Wow, you're finishing a Master's Degree by age 22? That is quite impressive.

Anyway, as for me, I'll be graduating with my degrees in physics and math this December. I would have graduated last May, but I added a math major last year, so I've got a few additional math classes to complete.

Funny, other people have said that to me lol.

Yep, I was 22 a month ago - I was always one of the youngest in the year at school and never took a year. Didn't see the point until now. It's good to know it's over with early.

Congrats!
